Working in an environment with power tools could result in the accidental cutting of the power cord. Luckily the power cord and Cord Protector are an easy fix. To learn how to replace the power cord go to our power cord replacement guide here.

Not properly securing the bit results in unwanted cutting results. First, place the drill bit into the open bit slot at the top of the drill. Then press the lock 1 button and hold it down while holding on to the lock 2 button. Turn lock 2 clockwise to tighten it. Make sure that the bit is completely vertical and should not be able to move at all.

It can be difficult to locate where a short circuit has happened in the device. The easiest one to locate would be if the short circuit has occurred in the cord. If you plug the device into the wall and there is a spark before the tool's switch is turned on then it is an issue with the cord and you must replace it. The guide can be found here.

The brushes are the two carbon rectangles that make contact with the bottom of the motor. They provide a current to the motor. Over time, the brushes inevitably wear down to nothing and must be replaced. If the brushes are fully worn down it would cause wires to grind against the motor and sparking would happen. To find out how to access the brushes and replace them, refer to our replacement guide here.
